I am trying to install python-ldap on ubuntu 20.04

pip3 install python-ldap

It complains about this command error

Looks like problem with

x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-Qunused-arguments’

Searched on Google but not many good answers about this typical error.

I have tried to copied the actual command and run it locally

/home/jlin/virtualenvs/pmas/bin/python -u -c 'import io, os, sys, setuptools, tokenize; sys.argv[0] = '"'"'/tmp/pip-install-mw_idota/python-ldap_10d1d5b1c1324cd5b7e42a23e6d0db58/setup.py'"'"'; __file__='"'"'/tmp/pip-install-mw_idota/python-ldap_10d1d5b1c1324cd5b7e42a23e6d0db58/setup.py'"'"';f = getattr(tokenize, '"'"'open'"'"', open)(__file__) if os.path.exists(__file__) else io.StringIO('"'"'from setuptools import setup; setup()'"'"');code = f.read().replace('"'"'\r\n'"'"', '"'"'\n'"'"');f.close();exec(compile(code, __file__, '"'"'exec'"'"'))' install --record /tmp/pip-record-dfol907l/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile --install-headers /home/jlin/virtualenvs/pmas/include/site/python3.8/python-ldap

I got the following output

running install

error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/tmp/pip-record-dfol907l/install-record.txt'

It looks like it was trying to write to a file in /tmp folder but it didnt?

What I have tried: Searched on GOOGLE and SO to installed extra suggested apt packages, such as build-essentials python3.8-dev libsasl2-dev python3-dev libldap2-dev libssl-dev but did not solve my problem.

Not directly answering my own question but I figured there is a python package python3-ldap which installed without problem.
